Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of functional materials, and relates to a photoelectrocatalytic material, in particular to a tungsten carbide / bismuth tungstate photoelectrocatalytic material prepared by a spin coating method and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The photoelectrocatalytic water splitting reaction is composed of two half reactions, namely, water oxidation reaction occurring at the photoanode and water reduction reaction occurring at the cathode, that is, under illumination, an external voltage is used to force the photo-generated electrons to move to the opposite electrode, thereby spatially separating the photo-generated holes and electrons, prolonging the lifetime of the photo-generated carriers, generating oxygen at the photoanode, and generating hydrogen at the cathode. Bismuth tungstate (Bi2WO6) is often used as a preferred photoelectrocatalytic water splitting catalyst material due to its unique structural properties, mainly because it is composed of (Bi2O2) 2+ oxide layers and WO6 octahedral sheets alternately form a layered crystal structure, which is more conducive to the transfer of electrons and holes in different directions and limits the recombination of electrons and holes to a certain extent; and the narrow band gap of Bi2WO6 is located at about 2.7eV, thereby exhibiting excellent photocatalytic activity under certain conditions. However, its practical application still faces some key challenges, such as high carrier recombination rate and slow surface reaction kinetics, resulting in low PEC (photoelectrochemical) water oxidation efficiency.

[0003] Tungsten carbide (WC) has similar d-band electron density states and surface electronic properties as platinum (Pt), which enables it to exhibit activity comparable to noble metals in catalytic reactions, thereby providing a good catalytic basis for water splitting reactions. Tungsten carbide is limited by the preparation process, and the product has a disordered morphology, irregular particle size, uneven dispersion, and is prone to incomplete reaction and agglomeration, which greatly affects its performance as a water splitting catalyst.

[0011] Step five, respectively take 50mg of bismuth tungstate powder prepared in step two and WxC powder prepared in step four is dissolved in 500 microliter membrane solution respectively to get WxC solution and BWO solution;

[0012] Step six, open the spin coater drop system, WxC solution and BWO solution prepared in step five are dropped in the center position of the cleaned ITO substrate in turn, air dry to obtain tungsten carbide / bismuth tungstate photoelectric catalytic material on the conductive ITO surface.

[0013] Preferably, the stirring in step one is magnetic stirring for 10-24h.

[0014] Preferably, the volume filling ratio of the high pressure reactor lining in step two is 40%-60%.

[0020] The application also protects a tungsten carbide / bismuth tungstate photoelectric catalytic material prepared by the spin coating method.
